Senator Warren says: "Attacks on the CFPB have already cost American families $26.5 billion." Mr. Vought's August expiration date couldn't come soon enough.

Acting CFPB Director Vought was (finally) in the hot seat today at a hearing on Capitol Hill. He is responsible for making life much harder for consumers. He's not alone, but his contributions to UNaffordability & UNaccountability are countless.

Congress let consumers down in its attack on the Consumer Watchdog The U.S.House voted to permanently obliterate two CFPB rules--the Overdraft fee rule & the Payment App Oversight rule. Congress let the country down by banning reasonable consumer protections for the benefit of oligarchs.

CFPB has dropped its enforcement suit against payment service Zelle and parent banks. According to the CFPB, consumers at the three largest 3 banks lost over $870 million over seven years due to inadeuqaute protections from widespread Zelle fraud. This is putting more consumers at risk.

Big Tech payment apps just got a corporate pardon from the Trump Admin--leaving consumers' money from payment app fraud in corporations' pockets. Next up is the Senate-they vote whether to permanently remove oversight of P2P fraud losses. Consumers need a CFPB that prevents fraud & protects them.

The Trump CFPB has let all consumers down--this time--by dropping the EWS/Zelle lawsuit. Tomorrow the Senate will vote on pardoning all corporations for payment app dereliction of duties. The goal: to kill federal oversight of payment fraud and financial relief for consumers. Senators just say no
